Apparatuses and methods related to custom view finders are disclosed. In one embodiment, for example, a method is disclosed which includes defining a view finder region within a first image and saving the image with the view finder into a non-transitory computer readable medium. Additionally, the method includes capturing a second image with a digital camera and compositing the second image into the view finder region of the first image to generate a composite image.

A technique for manipulating the layering order of graphical objects in a digital canvas or document is disclosed. A graphics object that is included in a layer in the digital canvas or document is selected. The digital canvas or document is searched in order to define a subset of graphics objects that includes the selected graphics object and any other graphics objects that overlap with the selected graphics object. A layering-order control enables a user to move the layer associated with the selected graphics object to a depth in the digital canvas or document that includes a layer associated with one of the other graphics objects in the subset of graphics objects. The concurrent re-positioning of multiple layers associated with two or more selected graphics objects is also disclosed.
